Bushmen of the Kalahari

The Bushmen of the Kalahari spend and average of fifteen hours a week on food and sustenance.  People living with stone age technology are living in one of the most inhospitable landscapes on Earth and they ONLY spend FIFTEEN HOURS A WEEK actually working; working for a living.  The rest of the week is spent singing songs and playing games.  The Bushmen really know how to enjoy life.

Now ask yourself, "Do I love my life?"  or,  "Is my heart filled with joy?"  or,  "Do I love the people I work with?"   or,  "Would I do this work if I did not get paid?" 


If the answer to any of these questions is "NO", then ask yourself, "Why am I working 50 or 60 hours a week?"  or,  "Do the additional 35 hours a week bring twice, or three times, as much joy?"   or, "Is this the best possible life I can imagine?" 


And then ask yourself ,"Would I rather work fewer hours a week?"  or,  "How can I do it?"  or, "Why am I living this 'overtime' life?"

Good Luck.
